Edgewater Hotel

Beds were comfy, big bathroom with everything you need. Great location in walking distance to almost everything a tourist may want to see in Whitehorse. They don't have breakfast but they indicated a coffee bakery just across the street - very convenient.

The aircon which you cannot direct and which blows air right on the beds... We ended up pinning the curtains together with a scrunchy to cover the AC so that we wouldn't be cold and get sick during the night. It's a good hotel but we feel the price is too high for what it is.

Very well located, affording nice views of the Main street and/or the riverbanks with the snowy-peaked mountains behind (depending on whether you get a corner room or not). Three minutes away from MacBride Museum, and only steps away from eateries, shops and other attractions. Our room was very clean and was equipped with a large TV with many good channels (for those long nights awaiting the Aurora Borealis shuttle), as well as a Nespresso machine complete with coffee pods - super useful in the morning, after sleeping in as a result of chasing the Northern Lights. Staff at the reception was friendly, helpful, courteous and respectful (we encountered 4 different people throughout our stay).

Although the bed was a good size, the pillows were extremely thin. I know this is a problem MOST hotels have, but in this case we felt like we slept directly on the mattress, despite having 2 pillows each.

Edgewater's location is perfect for a first-time visitor to Whitehorse: on the corner of Main and Front Streets, a short walk from the Visitors Information Centre, shops, cafes and restaurants. Every member of staff was welcoming, helpful and friendly. The newly revamped bar/ restaurant on the ground floor - Belly of the Bison - was only open evenings while I was there (February), but the food was wonderful. Be sure to dine there at least once during your stay! Although my room was more compact than I envisioned, it was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed.

The WiFi was very frustrating, constantly 'disconnecting'. Whenever I needed to check messages or post/ send, I would stand by the door to the room (where the signal seemed to be stronger).

The upscale extras in the room. Plush bath robes, nice toiletries

The parking is not ideal. They have a very small lot to accommodate about 6 to 7 small vehicles. We have a GMC pickup truck that did not fit. We had to park on the street with a two hour max meter. The visitor center gave us a pass but you really had to move every two hours because it was enforced 9AM to 5PM. Monday-Saturday.

Our room was comfortable and equipped with a kettle and coffee maker. The hotel is newly renovated so it has a ‘boutique’ vibe to it. I also highly recommend the hotel’s restaurant.

I felt like the walls were too thin as I would hear footsteps coming from the ceiling and random conversations between walls at night. On-site laundry is not available.

Situated in the middle of town you are close to shops and restaurants. A shuttle bus takes you to and from the airport. Very friendly and helpful staff.

It is quite noisy until late night due to the restaurants in the vicinity. With the air-conditioning on you can block most noise out.

Coffee machine Clean room Excellent location Pillows and bed very comfy Good quality complimentary Toiletries Nice and big shower Room equipped with microwave, kettle, fridge

Main entrance was locked when I reached at midnight. Had to stand out in the cold (- 40 degC). Called the reception to open the door. Buzzer didnt work. Heater works well but very loud even when fan is on low Restaurant open for dinner only and closed on sunday

Loved the location; close to the river walk, shops and the excellent museum. It's a beautiful modern building with a well- regarded restaurant and outdoor patio

Not that this is the fault of the hotel - but this area tends to be noisy late at night. Ask for a room away from the patio!

Hotel was very comfortable, due to COVID restrictions cleaning our own room for 2 weeks was a little trying.

The parking is atrocious. No space and only 6 stalls for a hotel of approximately 24 rooms with only metered parking available if the lot was full.

Room was super modern and very clean. Comfortable linens and Nespresso coffee! We had a lot of travel problems this trip and the Edgewater was a welcomed and pleasant surprise.

We liked everything.
